    Fam. What our kids have to think about going someplace where are should be learning and nurtured. America is a trash country. The people in power ain’t gone fix it. We really should start a whole new something else.

    The mood of this album is “Sex these niggas, maybe even love them, but when it’s time to kick them out? Kick them out.” A mood for summer and truly all times.

    The scariest part about living in a society that has capitalized on diversity and inclusion is that Y’all got the language DOWN PAT but have no idea what to do when a whole BLACK person is in ya face.

    People living in poverty are always being told that they need to make better decisions, but we have a system in place—in both the public & private sector—that punishes ppl in poverty every single day, a system that makes an intentional choice to make their lives more difficult.

    There are colleges closing their dining halls during breaks so low-income students have to find food pantries to eat. There are elementary school children who can’t afford hot lunches being shamed in front of their peers w/ cold sandwiches. All of it is a profound moral failure.

    Things that are truly pro-life: - abolishing the death penalty - vastly improved prenatal care - universal health care - vaccinations - better gun laws Things that are deeply hateful & not at all pro-life: - this whole fucking travesty of a misogynistic Georgia abortion law
